    Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2006

    Written for everyone interested in women’s and gender history, History Matters reaffirms the importance to feminist theory and activism of long-term historical perspectives. Bennett, who has been commenting on developments in women’s and gender history since the 1980s, argues that the achievement of a more feminist future relies on a rich, plausible, and well-informed knowledge of the past, and she asks her readers to consider what sorts of feminist history can best advance the struggles of the twenty-first century.

  • In Praise Of Nepotism : A Natural History / Adam Bellow
  • Attribution

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Doubleday, 2003
  • Description

    Certain to be one of the most controversial books of the year, In Praise of Nepotism is a learned, lively, and provocative look at a practice we all deplore ? Drawing on the insights of modern evolutionary theory, he shows how nepotism is rooted in our very biological nature, as the glue that binds together not only insect and animal societies but, for most of the world and for most of history, human societies as well. Drawing on the disciplines of biology, anthropology, history, and social and political theory, Bellow surveys the natural history of nepotism from its evolutionary origins to its practice in primitive tribes, clans, and kingdoms to its role in the great societies of the world. In his final chapter, Bellow argues that nepotism comes down to the bonds between children and parents, the transmission of family legacies, the cycle of generosity and gratitude that knits our whole society together.
